Took a trip to Gigrin today. Glorious weather although very chilly and some nice lighting as the sun went down.

I think you are looking at its legs! That is the underside of the bird.

Your reply made me chuckle - in fact the head does appear to be on the wrong way round.
Superb shot
Many thanks for your comments.

That's a great shot Ken, nice detail especially for a BIF, very well caught indeed. However, I have studied the shot and no matter how I look at it, its head is on the wrong way round just as you said Amazing that they can do that in a dive isn't it.

Thanks. It was my first time there. I found the number of birds a bit overwhelming at first but it calmed down after a while.

I'm not sure that the head is twisted as the feathers are all straight on the neck but it certainly gives the illusion of being the wrong way round.

Lovely shot Ken, Did you bankrupt yourself on Monday by the way?

Thanks Matty. I was quite restrained on Monday although I was sorely tempted by some of the big glass. Nice to meet you again.

Brilliant capture, it appears that the kite is at the piont of transition of a graduated filter.

Likewise Ken, I was on the Lee stand talking to Jeremy Walker for a long long time. A thoroughly nice guy. Managed to keep my wallet in my pocket too.

Thank you. I see what you mean about the filter but its just a natural layer of haze in the sky.
